When you pass the ROSPA test, they send you information about
a couple of insurance brokers/companies.  Most insurance companies
don't care less whether you have passed an advanced driving test
or not.  Presumably their argument is that if you really are a
safer driver then this will become apparent over the next 'n' years
when you make fewer claims, thereby improving your no-claims bonus.
Of course, you don't need to be at fault to be making a claim ...
but then the discount is clearly for no claims rather than no
blame.

As I remember, the quote from the insurance company I'd heard of
previously was significantly higher than most of the other quotes
I received, whereas the quote from the company I'd never heard of
(Boncaster) was the best I could find.  When I bought a higher
performance car (Alpha 75 - 2 litres) then Boncaster were unable
to give me a competitive quotation.
